Odin - the King of the gods i Norse mythology; dricker bara vin. The Chief God of the Norsemen! Vad är mer lämpligt för en chief än att dricka fina viner? The Norsemen har alltid njutit av vin! Ända sedan alkohol kom till har människor tillskrivit alkohol till gudomligt innehåll. Folk erbjöd vin till gudarna.
Dionysus är enligt grekisk mytologi guden av vindruvskörd, vinframställning och vin. Legenden vidhåller att att Dionysus var den första någonsin att förvandla vindruvor till vin! Han älskar helt enkelt att dricka, dans och uppnå 'states of ecstasy'.
Norse mythology lovar ändlös drickande av vin i efterlivet!
Tegedao satt hemma på fredagskvisten i Sverige (en gång härjat av Vikingar) och drack det italienska rödvinet Livio Pavese Barbera Del Monferrato. Ett lagrat italienskt vin som skapats från vingårdar i 800 år. Vinet var bara inte lagrat utan också magiskt! Jodå, 'the Norse gods' kan förvandla sig till alkohol och förhöja upplevelsen av vin!
Efter ett par klunkar transporterades Tegedao plötsligt till Valhalla - en mäktig enorm hall lokaliserad i Asgard - där guden Odin härskar! Tegedao förstod omedelbart vad det var frågan om - nu jävlar ska det drickas det bästa vinet i världen med vinälskaren Odin! King of The Norse Gods! Här i Valhalla dricks det vin i kopiösa mängder (utan att bli bakfull).
Tegedao fullständigt njöt av detta RÖDVIN! Valhalla Heaven! Här spenderade Tegedao vad som kändes en evighet. Men väl tillbaka i Sverige (en gång härjat av Vikingar) hade ingen tid passerat då trots allt gudarnas boning är tidlös. Hemma till sitt italienska rödvin Livio Pavese Barbera Del Monferrato - som verkligen inte är lika himmelskt gott som Odin's - var det bara för Tegedao att landa efter denna magiska vinupplevelse, med förhoppning att kanske en vacker dag återvända till Valhalla för att ändlöst dricka fina viner!
In the rich tapestry of Greek mythology, Dionysus, the god of wine, ecstasy, and rebirth, stands out as a compelling figure representing the essence of life's cyclical and transformative nature. Through a holographic lens, where every part is reflective of the whole, Dionysus's mythology transcends the mere celebration of the vine to embody the profound creative and destructive forces inherent in the universe and within ourselves.
In the cult of Dionysus, followers sought to achieve ecstasy (ekstasis), a state of standing outside oneself, through rituals and revelries. This pursuit of ecstatic experience was not merely hedonistic but a sacred path to transcendence and unity with the divine. From a holographic perspective, ecstasy represents a moment of profound connection with the cosmos, where the individual self dissolves into the universal, revealing the interconnectedness of all creation. Dionysus, as the giver of this ecstasy, facilitates the experience of oneness, reminding us that creation is not an act of imposition upon the world but a process of alignment with the fundamental energies of the universe.
Dionysus, as the god giver of ecstasy, offers a profound insight into the nature of creativity and the human experience. His mythology, viewed through a holographic lens, reveals the intricate dance of creation, destruction, and renewal that defines the cosmos. Dionysus teaches us that ecstasy is not just a state of divine madness but a gateway to deeper understanding and unity with the universe. In embracing the chaotic, creative, and communal aspects of Dionysus's worship, we can better appreciate the holographic nature of existence, where each moment of ecstasy reflects and contains the whole of creation. Thus, the mythology of Dionysus serves as a timeless reminder of the power of ecstasy to connect us with the divine spark within and the boundless creativity of the universe. HOLOSOPHY!

The exploration of Greek mythology through the lens of modern psychology has revealed the depth and complexity of ancient narratives, transforming them from mere stories of gods and heroes into profound reflections on human nature. Karl Kerényi's work, particularly in "The Gods of the Greeks," presents these myths not just as tales of old but as vital, living symbols that continue to resonate with the psychological and existential questions of contemporary life. Integrating this perspective with a holographic view of the universe offers a unique vantage point from which to understand the archetypal dimensions of these deities and their stories, revealing a rich tapestry of psychological insight.
The concept of a holographic universe suggests that every part of the universe contains all the information present in the whole. This principle, when applied to Greek mythology, proposes that each myth, god, and narrative holds within it the entire spectrum of human psychological and existential experiences. The gods themselves become not just deities with specific domains but archetypal images reflecting the fundamental aspects of the human psyche.
The holographic perspective illuminates Greek mythology as a comprehensive reflection of the human psyche, where each deity and myth embodies the whole spectrum of human experience. This approach not only enriches our understanding of these ancient narratives but also offers profound insights into the psychological depths of our own lives. The gods of the Greeks, through the lens of Kerényi and the holographic universe, emerge not as distant figures of a bygone era but as living symbols of the archetypal journey we all undertake, reflecting the universal and timeless nature of human existence. Integrating the mythological with the holographic, therefore, offers a powerful framework for exploring the psychological depths of these ancient stories, revealing their enduring relevance and wisdom for the contemporary soul searcher.
Building on the holographic and psychological exploration of Greek gods, we can further enrich our understanding by incorporating the perspectives offered by Seth, as channeled by Jane Roberts. Seth's teachings, emphasizing that humans are innate creators of their own reality, resonate deeply with the archetypal themes found in Greek mythology. This view posits that the stories of the gods are not just reflective of human psychology but are also symbolic of the creative powers bestowed upon humanity, a divine gift that enables us to shape our existence.
Through the lens of Seth's teachings, Prometheus's act of bestowing fire upon humanity transcends the narrative of mere myth. It symbolizes the awakening of human consciousness to its inherent creative abilities. Fire, a transformative element, becomes a metaphor for the spark of creativity and the potential for change and innovation within each individual. This act of rebellion against the gods to benefit humanity can be seen as an allegory for the human realization of its own divine power to create and transform reality.
Viewing Greek mythology through the teachings of Seth, as channeled by Jane Roberts, enriches our understanding of these ancient stories, presenting them as not only psychological archetypes but as representations of our divine inheritance as creators of reality. The gods of Greek mythology, in their myriad forms and stories, symbolize the vast potentials within us for creation, transformation, and renewal. They remind us of our inherent power to shape our destinies, a divine gift that connects us to the cosmos and to each other. In recognizing this gift, we acknowledge our role as active participants in the unfolding drama of existence, empowered to create our reality in the image of our highest aspirations and deepest dreams. This integration of mythological wisdom with Seth's teachings offers a holistic(HOLOSOPHY) vision of our place in the universe, as both inheritors and creators of a reality as rich and varied as the pantheon of the gods themselves. The Divine Gift of HOLOSOPHY Creation!

In the evolving landscape of psychological thought, the shadow of Carl Jung looms large, not least for his revolutionary embrace of the spiritual within the domain of the psyche. His concepts of the collective unconscious and archetypes introduced a framework that transcended the purely scientific, venturing into the mystical and mythological. Today, in what we might call post-Jungian thought, there's a burgeoning interest in further exploring the relationship between psychology and spirituality, particularly through the lens of polytheism and psychological pluralism. This article delves into these complex interrelations, arguing for the significance of a polytheistic perspective in understanding the multifaceted nature of the psyche. Post-Jungian thought, while rooted in Jung's original theories, branches out in new and diverse directions, incorporating contemporary understandings of the mind and spirituality. One of the most compelling of these directions is the concept of the psyche as inherently polytheistic. Just as polytheistic religions worship multiple deities, each embodying different aspects of life and the cosmos, a polytheistic psyche acknowledges the existence of multiple, distinct facets or 'gods' within the human mind.
These 'gods' represent the myriad psychological forces and archetypes that govern our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. From the protective instinct embodied in a warrior deity to the nurturing care of a mother goddess, each internal god symbolizes a core aspect of our psychological makeup. This perspective encourages a more nuanced and holistic approach to understanding human behavior, recognizing the complexity and contradiction inherent in the human psyche.
Psychological pluralism, closely related to the notion of a polytheistic psyche, posits that the mind comprises multiple, often conflicting, aspects or voices. This view challenges the traditional, monolithic view of the self as a single, unified entity. Instead, it suggests that we are a constellation of selves, each with its own desires, fears, and perspectives.
This pluralistic approach has profound implications for therapeutic practice. It offers a framework for understanding internal conflicts, mood shifts, and even dissociative experiences, not as pathological, but as expressions of the diverse 'community' of selves within us. By engaging with these different aspects of ourselves, we can achieve a deeper understanding of our motivations and conflicts, leading to more effective strategies for personal growth and healing.
Incorporating polytheistic imagery and concepts into psychological practice can have significant therapeutic benefits. For individuals exploring their spirituality or grappling with existential questions, framing their inner experiences through the lens of polytheism can provide meaningful insights. It allows for a spiritual exploration of psychological issues, offering a rich tapestry of imagery and narrative to draw upon.
For instance, someone struggling with aggression might engage with the archetype of a warrior god, not to glorify violence, but to understand the protective, assertive aspects of their personality. Conversely, engaging with a goddess of wisdom could help another individual develop insight and perspective. This approach fosters a deeper, more empathetic relationship with oneself, recognizing the value and purpose of each aspect of our inner pantheon. The concept of a polytheistic psyche, enriched by psychological pluralism, offers a compelling lens through which to view human psychology. It acknowledges the complexity, contradiction, and richness of the human mind, inviting us to explore the myriad 'gods' that inhabit our psyche. In doing so, it not only deepens our understanding of ourselves but also bridges the gap between psychology and spirituality, offering a holistic path toward healing and self-discovery. Post-Jungian thought, in embracing these ideas, continues to push the boundaries of what psychology can teach us about the profound mysteries of the human condition.

Building upon the foundation of psychological pluralism and the polytheistic psyche, we venture further into the territory charted by the Seth Philosophy, particularly its cornerstone concept: "You are given the gift of the gods." This perspective offers a radical reimagining of reality creation, where the individual is not merely a passive recipient of life's vicissitudes but an active participant in the creation of their reality. This paradigm shift, deeply resonant with post-Jungian thought, invites us to explore how the inner pantheon influences our external reality and how acknowledging our divine creative potential can lead to profound personal transformation. The Seth Philosophy, as channeled by Jane Roberts, presents the idea that each individual possesses the inherent ability to shape their reality. This "gift of the gods" suggests that the myriad aspects of our psyche—our inner gods and goddesses—are not only archetypes guiding our behavior and thought patterns but also potent forces in reality creation itself. According to this view, we are constantly in the process of manifesting our inner world into the external, through beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and expectations.
The acknowledgement of our psyche's polytheistic nature aligns seamlessly with the Seth Philosophy's emphasis on our creative powers. Each internal god represents a facet of our creative potential, embodying different energies and capabilities we can tap into for manifesting our desired reality. The warrior archetype, for example, can be invoked not just in overcoming personal challenges but also in assertively creating opportunities in one's life. Similarly, the nurturing aspects of a mother goddess archetype might inspire one to cultivate more supportive relationships and environments.
This approach requires a conscious engagement with our inner diversity, recognizing that our reality is a reflection of the multitude of beliefs, desires, and energies we harbor within. By harmonizing these internal forces, we can direct our creative energies more effectively, shaping our lives with intention and purpose.
Integrating the Seth Philosophy's concept of reality creation with the polytheistic psyche elevates the process of personal growth to a spiritual practice. This practice involves not only self-exploration and psychological insight but also a deliberate cultivation of our innate creative abilities. It invites us to view life as a canvas for our divine creativity, where each moment offers the opportunity to manifest our highest potential.
Engaging in reality creation in this way transforms our relationship with the external world. We begin to see challenges not as obstacles imposed upon us by fate but as invitations to apply our creative powers, to learn, and to grow. This shift in perspective can lead to a profound sense of empowerment and responsibility for the quality of our lives and the impact we have on the world around us.
The integration of post-Jungian thought, with its recognition of the polytheistic psyche, and the Seth Philosophy's emphasis on our divine creative potential, offers a transformative framework for understanding and engaging with our reality. By acknowledging the "gift of the gods" within us—the ability to actively shape our personal and collective realities—we open ourselves to a life of greater intention, creativity, and spiritual fulfillment.
This perspective encourages us to honor the diverse aspects of our psyche, engaging with them not just as psychological phenomena but as powerful allies in the art of reality creation. It invites us to embrace our role as co-creators of our world, leveraging our inner divinity to manifest a life that reflects our deepest values and aspirations. In doing so, we realize that the greatest gift of the gods is not the power to change the world, but the realization that the world we wish to change is, and always has been, an extension of ourselves.
